This one takes the cake — I’m staggered by the ignorance I just encountered. I just tried to ship a Burris LRS scope to a friend in Euless from my local«The UPS Store.» After looking suspiciously at the box(mild understatement), I offered that it was a rifle scope. The horrified attendant felt compelled to call UPS customer support regarding this tube filled with glass and mirrors, because it was an optic accessory(ostensibly) for a firearm. The genius on the line at UPS customer support offered that I needed to ship it through an FFL dealer. I cannot fathom that anyone could be so ignorant as to associate an optical sight with a functioning firearm part. Where would I put the bullets, exactly? I’ve apparently been using it wrong all these years, just looking through it. I suppose that if I shipped a pair of binoculars, they’d likewise be refused? This is the last time I use UPS for anything, and it’s the last time I’ll set foot in this store. Please spend 10 minutes educating your employees on what constitutes a firearm. I always abide by firearm laws, but UPS customer support just made a new one. SMH. Here’s line and verse from the UPS website. Please note that a scope is in no way, shape, or form a firearm, or even a firearm part. Use These UPS Services for Your Firearm Shipment Handguns, as defined by 18 U.S.C. § 921, will be accepted for transportation only via UPS Next Day Air Services, specifically, UPS Next Day Air® Early A.M.®, UPS Next Day Air®, and UPS Next Day Air Saver®.(Note: UPS Express Critical™ Service is not available for firearms). UPS accepts firearm parts for shipment, provided the part is not a «firearm» as defined under federal law; the contents of the package cannot be assembled to form a firearm; and the package otherwise complies with federal, state, and local law.(Note: Receivers or frames of a firearm and firearm mufflers/silencers(also referred to as suppressors) are considered«firearms» and are accepted for transportation only if shipped in accordance with UPS’s requirements for shipping firearms.)
